Is it having a check list out for kids every morning to make sure the essentials are getting done?
Is it allowing a half hour of play after school before homework/reading/sports/chores so kids can decompress?
I saw a reel where a mom shared that every night at 8 she has an alarm go off and everyone stops what they are doing to help tidy the house. Everyone is assigned a different area and they pick up and put away everything in their area, whether they got it out or not!
It’s brilliant and I started it this week with great success!
A lot of families with younger kids do the “power” or “magic” hour after dinner where one parent plays with the kids while the other parent cleans up and gets the house back in order.
